The former Longhorn letterman has signed on to guide Texas Athletics through the 2017-2018 season.
In a move that broke behind some paywalls yesterday and was publicly confirmed by UT President Greg Fenves this afternoon, Texas has removed the "Interim" tag from Mike Perrin's title:

Perrin's deal now stretches through the 2017-18 academic year. His interim stint certainly didn't lack for headlines - he definitively threw his support behind Charlie Strong as anti-Charlie sentiment reached a fever pitch in some circles, and brought a quarter-billion dollar Nike deal across the finish line.
